Shipmans Buzzer Selection

Shipmans Buzzer Selection.

The Shipmans Buzzer, created in the 1970’s by Dave Shipman to imitate chironomid hatches on Rutland Water, these can be fished in a number of different ways:

• Dry: On a floating line (think of them as a dry fly) gink them up and fish them high on the water. Let the wind drift the fly (or flies), or retrieve very slowly.
• Emerging: Gink up half of the buzzer and fish half in/half out.
• Wet: Apply Xink to the buzzer and fish it sunk.

These flies are all tied on strong barbless size 10 & 12 hooks. This select comes with 16 flies (4 different patterns, 2 of each sizes 10 and 12).

Descriptions and photos of the flies can be found below:
